Endless route

Chapter 410 20. Landslides and Large Creatures

Carefully recalling the whole story, in fact, the legend of Master Shan may not be true. The only people near the mountain village who knew about Master Shan were bandits from nearby villages and towns and the village.

Except them.

No one knows Mr. Shan.

Moreover, everyone who knows about Mr. Shan’s existence has never seen Mr. Shan with their own eyes. Even the rumors that Mr. Shan cannibalize people are only spread among the people and are difficult to verify.

Therefore, the authenticity of Mr. Shan is doubtful.

It is very likely that this is news deliberately released by Zhou Jiu and other copycat masters in order to hide the truth behind it.

At least so far, they have not found any clues related to Master Shan. The Taoist temple deep in the underground lake cannot be sure that it is dedicated to Master Shan.

It can only be said to be confusing.

The two key parties involved, the Commander of the Ghost Suppression Department and Zhou Jiu, were unable to conduct questioning, directly blocking the investigation.

"Put the linen cloth back into the iron coffin."

"Send someone to re-examine the ghost-suppressing envoy."

After making his judgment, Zheng Yun made the most prudent choice and asked the Yin soldiers to return the linen to the iron coffin and cover the red meat again, leaving it unopened.

No matter what the truth is.

No need to take risks.

Since the ancient ship ecology maintained a delicate balance before they arrived, there was no need for them to break the balance, at least not to act rashly until they found out the whole story.

And the goal is achieved.

They have learned about the situation inside the iron coffin, seen the whole picture of the red meat, and used cameras to record it in all directions.

The information has been obtained.

The iron coffin can be resealed.

If you want to know all the information about the red meat in the iron coffin, you can gradually do it after Ji Dao returns to Tiangong to consult ancient books.

Since the task of the transporter is to transport the iron coffin to the secret realm of Jianxian Division, then they will complete the mission for the transporter and send the red meat of the iron coffin to the Heavenly Palace for continued sealing.

This may be a natural chasm that Qiuji has never crossed in his life, but for Zheng Yunjidao and the others, it is not a difficult task. The immortal gate is only a few hundred meters away from the iron coffin.

Maybe the transporter has been waiting.

Waiting for Jianxian Si to come here again.

And he did wait. Although he was hundreds of years late in time, he still waited for the Supervisory Immortal Division.

"Reseal the iron coffin."

Zheng Yun spoke to Ji Dao and others.

"Master Immortal, what should I do with these iron coffin red meats? Should I leave them in Wuhaixianzhou? I think it's better to take them back to Tiangong and wait for me to study them before making another plan."

"After all, the red meat is a ghost transported by the Ghost Suppression Division. It is most likely one of the materials for making ghost methods. However, it has not been refined yet, so its ability cannot be seen."

Ji Dao felt anxious and spoke quickly.

The things that the Ghost Suppression Division transferred must be treasures, and it would definitely not be in line with Ji Dao's character to abandon them like this.

"Bring it back to Heavenly Palace."

Zheng Yun nodded and spoke.

This was his original plan.

These ancient transshipment ships are probably related to the wreckage of the navy not far away. If this is speculated, the ghosts escorted by the transshipment envoys are extremely precious and unimaginable.

"That's good."

Ji Dao grinned.

"But you must be careful. You must first clear the way to the Tiangong to prevent red meat from contaminating everyone in the Tiangong. You must also find a suitable environment for the iron coffin and handle it safely."

"You have to be careful when transporting the iron coffin. We have a lot of time, so we must make sure that there is no abnormality in the red meat of the iron coffin."

Zheng Yun warned again.

The Yin soldiers had already returned the linen cloth to the iron coffin, and used the utensils they brought with them to spread the linen cloth flatly on the red meat.

But there are still many unknowns.

Red meat is likely to spiral out of control.

"Master Immortal, let the Yin soldiers try to carry the coffin first, see how the iron coffin will react, and test it step by step." Ji Dao immediately became cautious after hearing this.

Everything strives to be safe.

If nothing happens, don't let anything happen.

As long as the red meat in the iron coffin is brought back to the Heavenly Palace safely, the exploration of this cottage will be mostly successful, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. There will be plenty of time to investigate later.

"You guys stand back and do it."

Zheng Yun nodded and gave orders to the Yin soldiers.

The Yin soldiers immediately started to take action, standing scattered around the iron coffin, and first used cameras to observe all corners of the iron coffin.

The image appears on the screen.

Everyone in the command room cast their gazes one after another, studying the iron coffin for any abnormalities or mechanisms.

Zheng Yun even sent Yin soldiers to go around and around the ancient ship's channel, and got into the cabin directly below the iron coffin to see if there were any other mechanism designs under the iron coffin.

The answer is yes and no.

There are only a large number of supporting structures in the cabin below to ensure that the entire iron coffin and red meat will not collapse the hull.

Otherwise there are no exceptions.

Everything is relatively common sense.

"Master Immortal, it seems there is nothing wrong. I feel that this iron coffin is an iron coffin, and the mechanism is inside it."

Zhang Ergou scratched his head and asked tentatively.

"Move it and take a look."

Zheng Yun made the attempt after making sure it was safe.

But at this moment, a change suddenly occurred.

The command room located deep in the village suddenly began to shake. The dilapidated eaves trembled up and down, old tiles slid off the roof, and the entire blue brick house began to shake from side to side.

The grass and trees outside the window also swayed.

The sound of the house shaking was particularly harsh on a rainy night.

Everyone could feel the vibration, as if the entire mountain beneath them was shaking.

At the moment of sudden shock.

Everyone in the command room looked out the window.

The thick and dark rainy night was no longer peaceful. The pouring rain obscured all sight. The thick rain curtain isolated the firelight from the outside world. Only the Yin soldiers holding torches not far away could be seen.

But the sounds were very mixed.

Birds in the mountains and wilds screamed and flew away, wild beasts screamed and fled, looming in the shaking of the grass and wood houses.

All senses point to an answer.

The mountain below is really shaking.

"Is this... an earthquake?"

Zhang Ergou's expression changed and he looked above his head.

"Probably not. It seems that there was a landslide somewhere in the distance, a mountain collapsed, and the vibrations were transmitted here."

Nia looked out the window and listened carefully.

In addition to the shaking of the tile-roofed house, one could also vaguely hear earth-shattering visions, transmitted from a very far away place, much like a landslide somewhere in the distance.

Rumble...Rumble...

A constant roaring sound.

She couldn't tell the difference between the east, west and north of this place.

But they could probably tell that the location should be in the mountains to their right, perhaps tens or even hundreds of kilometers away, and the landslide was not small.

"should be."

Zheng Yun also nodded and came to the same conclusion.

Judging from the rumbling momentum and duration, it should indeed be a landslide, a natural phenomenon, but if it happens at this moment, it may not necessarily be a 'natural' formation.

"Jidao, is there something going on over there?"

Zheng Yun turned to look at the surveillance screen.

There was no abnormality in the first perspective of the Yin soldiers, the red meat in the iron coffin showed no abnormal movement, and the pictures in other places only shook slightly. It seemed that this change was just an accident.

At least it has nothing to do with Iron Coffin Red Meat.

There is no correlation visible on the screen.

"In the rainy season in Wuhaixianzhou, it rains for several months at a time. It would be reasonable if it was really a landslide. Previously, the excavator dug into the mountain and caused a lot of rocks to fall from the mountain."

Zhang Ergou's tone was somewhat unconfident.

Just as they were about to carry the iron coffin, there was a sudden sound in the distance, which was earth-shattering and frightening.

I'd say it has something to do with it.

It seems a little outrageous.

How could red meat in an iron coffin cause landslides and ground cracks? No matter how powerful it is, it cannot have such means.

But say it’s okay.

It also makes people feel guilty.

If the red meat in the iron coffin really has such power, and the warning just now was just its warning, then it will be extremely risky for me and others to carry the iron coffin, and it may be destroyed here at any time.

"Master Immortal, something is wrong."

"I always have an ominous feeling."

"We'd better take action immediately. If we delay, it may be difficult to move this iron coffin of red meat."

Ji Dao spoke seriously deep in the ancient ship.

On the ancient ship, he could more intuitively feel the power of the vibration just now. The entire ship shook violently on the water, almost knocking them down in the corridor.

This shock was anything but ordinary.

It may indicate something ominous.

"Master Tao, how do you say this? Did you just predict something? Has our Taoist God given us inspiration?"

Zhang Ergou spoke quickly from the side.

Ji Dao's tone was too serious and real. They rarely saw Ji Dao in this state. In this case, what Ji Dao said was very crucial. There must be some reason.

As a descendant of the Tiangong Dojo, Ji Dao must have some experience in the art of divination. Even if he is not proficient in it, he is at least a 'master' in the outside dojo.

If he makes a fortune.

Putting aside everything else, at least Zhang Ergou will believe it unconditionally and will do whatever Ji Dao says.

"It's bullshit. What I mean is that the boat may collapse. If the boat collapses, we have to go down and fish it out."

Jidao lowered his head and looked down, and spoke to Zhang Ergou and Zheng Yun very quickly, not wanting to argue with Zhang Ergou.

Until now.

The underground lake still has its power.

The entire lake rippled.

There were creaking sounds everywhere inside the ancient ship, as if the planks in some places were breaking, which might lead to large-scale fragmentation of the hull of the ancient ship, and eventually cause the sinking of a certain ship.

These boats are so fragile.

After hundreds of years of erosion, they can no longer withstand any accident. Any small shock may cause a chain reaction and eventually lead to tragedy.

And landslides are no small matter.

The height difference between the mountains in Wubianya is often thousands of meters, and the shock caused by a small mountaintop falling to the bottom of the valley is absolutely extraordinary.

"Then speed up."

Zheng Yun rubbed his forehead and agreed to speed up.

He also had a very bad premonition that this sudden change might have something to do with the iron coffin.

The specifics are not known at this time.

But there's a key issue here.

The real culprit who disemboweled at least two boatmen in horrific ways must have been so huge that even a slight collision could cause the ship to be cut off and sink completely to the bottom of the water.

And red meat in an iron coffin.

It could also come from larger creatures.

From the texture and outline of the red meat, it is completely impossible to tell what creature it may have come from. In other words, this part of the red meat accounts for a pitifully small proportion of the entire creature.

Just like the meat on a chicken leg.

If you put a large piece of meat with bones in front of you, you can tell at a glance that it comes from a chicken leg, but even if you put a piece of meat the size of a fingernail in front of you, it's hard to tell where it comes from.

So if the red meat is really the body part of a creature, it's likely that the creature was extremely monstrous in size.

At least bigger than the Ming Dynasty treasure ship.

The length is at least two hundred meters.

On the endless route, there are not a few marine creatures with a length of more than 200 meters, and many of them are very flexible species, but they may not be aggressive to humans.

A creature of this size could really make the ancient Triton helpless, especially if it suffered a sneak attack during the voyage. It would be difficult for the Triton to survive the disaster in its haste.

You can imagine the scene. The two boat masters were powerless to fight back, and the hundreds of ancient ships were as brittle as white paper.

Then you can make a guess.

Since both could be large creatures, and the distance between the two places is not that far apart, could they be related, with red meat being part of the large creature?

Go one step further.

Such a huge creature.

Is it possible to cause a landslide?

It’s really hard to say, because creating a landslide does not necessarily require huge force. As long as the mountain is on the verge of collapse, a slight vibration will cause it to slide.

For humans.

This matter is a fantasy.

But for such huge creatures, this may not be difficult at all. Every move they make may cause earth-shattering tsunamis and landslides.

Similar to an avalanche.

Perhaps it was just a huge boulder that suddenly fell at first, but it triggered a series of shocks and eventually turned the mountain into collapse.

Especially in an environment like Boundless Cliff.

The heights of mountains and rivers are too large, and there are no seas and Xianzhous that never experience earthquakes. Every mountain is relatively fragile, and its ability to withstand vibrations is reduced, making the possibility of accidents even greater.

It's not that Zheng Yun thinks too much.

But this possibility exists objectively.

If red meat is really related to large creatures, then this sudden shock is probably caused by the abnormal movements of large creatures, and they are also attacked by such creatures at any time.

No matter how high the odds are.

They all have to guard against it.

Ancient boat masters could easily fight back against tens of thousands of people. How could a few of them fight back?

This thing comes down with a slap.

You can smash an ancient ship to pieces.

Landslides occur easily.

How should I and others respond?

Even if the Han Immortal is invited, I am afraid that he will not be able to bite such a huge creature, and will not be able to kill it for a while.

The specific truth cannot be known for the time being, but no matter what, this red meat must be taken back to Tiangong and sealed.

"I'll clear the passage right now."

Ji Dao hurriedly ran towards Xianmen.

The Immortal Gate is a dead object and is not affected by any gods and ghosts. They can directly move the Immortal Gate to the ancient ship, transport the iron coffin and red meat back to the Heavenly Palace at a close distance, and end the matter as soon as possible.

"Be more careful."

Zheng Yun turned his head and looked into the distance.

"The shaking still hasn't stopped."

Niya followed Zheng Yun and turned her head. In the dark mountains outside the window, a rumbling sound was faintly heard. It had not stopped until this moment, and even gained momentum.

The distance is too far.

They can't hear clearly here.

But the vibration under the feet was very obvious. As the rumbling sound continued for a moment, the black tiles on the top of the tile roof fell along the ridge of the roof to the blue brick ground.

"Ancestor, what exactly have you done?"

Zheng Yun looked into the distance and sighed. If he really guessed it right, then this matter would be even more incredible.

What are the ancestors doing?

Do they even want to control such a creature with such a huge system and bring it under the command of Haiwei Supervisor Xiansi?
